A Kha'ni appears on screen with many in rows of Kha'ni behind him. Another Kha'ni sits in a massive throne wearing a type of mask. The throned Kha'ni is behind the many ranks of Kha'ni The first Kha'ni speaks, in Kha'ni'ad and if translated...

"Greetings from God-Protector Sra'ni of the Kha'ni. We wish many good years upon your people. As the Chosen People of the Gods, we offer partnership and friendship so as to promote goodwill to all of the Gods' peoples."

What follows is a long and confusing speech about various undescribed terms and many quotations from a religious text. The message ends with many more platitudes and requests for "partnership and friendship".

(I know the roleplay hasn't really started but I had to do something...)

Months later, a reply arrives. A fully colored hologram of a Thyara appears.I am Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi. You resemble us, the lesser beings to a large degree. We don't know what kinds of gods you worship, but find us, and you will find the true ones. The Divine Beings, or the Kreazi, are proven by all our holy texts and laws as true. Join us, and find truth, and you might gain knowledge safely. If you wish to refrain from our "slavery", we advice you to stop all research immediately, as the Kreazi know what is good for you. You don't want a second apocalypse, do you? We are repelled by your idea of "the Chosen People of the Gods". The Great Kreazi Council chooses a lot, but rules whoever seeks so. They do not choose a people, not even us, the humble Thyaras. (Again, I know roleplay hasn't started yet, but I'm getting bored.)

As soon as possible a reply is sent across the the void, containing a similar hologram of the last, without the Throned Kha'ni.

"Greetings Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi. We are interested in meeting these Divine Beings to see if they are the true Gods we Search for. We wish for no other knowledge then where our gods may be found, we have many relics of the Gods and the Search continues. While we are saddened by your, 'Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi's, rejection of our status, we accept this as you, 'Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi', do not know. We did not know why you, 'Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi', spoke of Apocalypse, as the only apocalypse the Kha'ni know is that destruction that was wielded upon the Apostate by the Demons. As you, 'Q-werr qur Xiy, prophet of the Kreazi', do not know of these things, we the Kha'ni propose friendship and partnership as well as an exchange of cultures the time we may meet among the stars."

(Hmm, why can we not roleplay at least in the correspondence department. It may very well keep us sane long enough. )

This time, a small spacecraft appears on the edge of Kha'ro (your solar system). Another hologram is sent.

I, Q-werr qur Xiy, the third prophet of the Kreazi, must apologize for our last message, if it somehow offended you. I might have spoken outside of the Divine Beings' original words, whether I spoke truth or not. Proper punishment has met me, and I have been excluded from becoming the Archprophet for two reigns. Coincidentially, our homeworlds are remarkably close, both in the same galactic arm. The destruction you spoke of sounds similar to ours, although in our case the Divine Beings protected us themselves, in return for our slavery. We might be more similar than expected. With the acceptance of the Divine Council, the Domain has accepted your proposals. A sister in faith of mine, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi, is aboard our humble spacecraft. We ask of you to accept her as a diplomat. I hope you find Q-werr zer Sayraj acceptable. Among her is a four members of the Nas-theis rank, best translated as "free professors".

(I have clicked on this forum enough times for it to appear on the "New Tab" page of Google Chrome. This sanity is needed.)

Several ships approach the small craft, they appear unarmed and form various formations of geometric precision. They continue to vary and flow as if as a dance. A signal is sent.

"We Greet Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi, and welcome her, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi', to Kha'ro, and invite her, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi', to Kha'to. She, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi', is invited to the Protector's court, the Nas-theis members are free to roam and ruminate among the varied shapes of the thought pools and learn the knowings and teach the knowings that they, the Nas-theis members, will. We are surprised at your speed of arrival, and ask if you would receive a similar delegation. We are surprised at your number, we would expect such a delegation to be larger. To 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi', we will also be showing the vast collection of relics the Protector protects, as to reference of her, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi's, religious aptitude."

Q-werr zer Sayraj opens a hologram at the Protector's Court. It reveals a Thyara that is weirdly, very white, unlike others you have seen.

I am the current Archprophet. My name is Q-thar qur Badhalin. With great debate, the Domain has come with a proposal. I apologize for not coming myself for this, but most prophets are already gone from our planet, searching ruins of old. It seems necessary for us to prove the existence of the Divine Beings, and perhaps even more important, to prove their divinity. It is however inappropriate to show them casually, as they have a certain natural aversion to lesser beings, including us. This is a unfortunate result of the destruction that happened in the past, devastating their homeworld. The reason we sent only a few people in advance was due to uncertainty. For all we know, you might have been planning to kill whoever we send. We propose for a larger fleet to approach, including a Kreaz, a Divine Being himself. He will of course be isolated from most of the crew, unless he wishes otherwise. His personal attendants will show him to your leader character (they did not know he is called the "protector," before the expedition was sent) and three more of your choice, but none other. The rest of the crew will include a larger party of professors, unless you wish otherwise. Send a message if you find this acceptable.

Q-werr zer Sayraj speaks,I have a personal message, showing that you have not killed me. Without it, they will deeply distrust you, so be sure to include it in any reply. "Dahwa y Zenjeikt muw, waqara Midhes", meaning "Flames of old must never repeat, even if sacrifice is necessary".

(I just realized how confusing the government is. The Kreazi rules like a direct democracy (easy since they are so few), they rule over the Thyaras like a Theocratic Oligarchy, but in a sense, it is the Prophets who rule over the Thyaras like a Theocratic Oligarchy under the guidance of gods, but with a leader who is chosen by the Kreazi, known as the Archprophet, who in the game is the leader of the Divine Mandate. The latter actually rules for life. So somehow, the domain is ruled like this: Chancellor of the Divine Beings (Direct Democracy)Direct Kreazi Democracy (Theocratic Oligarchy)Archprophet of the Thyaras (Divine Mandate, probably the government if played in Stellaris)Prophets (Theocratic Oligarchy) Complex Slavery Systems)

It had come as a small suprise when messages appeared over the void between two sentient species, the most suprising thing to the crew was the talk of 'gods'. The Divine had long been a relic of the past to the Kaheshi, however translating the languages of both these species began immiediatly as they tapped into the conversations from a nearby system of barren rocks and a single gas-giant they had originally arrived to study to relay back to the crownship

A crackly message comes from a small rusted probe "This so called god is just some old fool proclaiming knowledge of Times that have past and cling to life by foolish followers and should be cleansed from history for the destruction of Kan" followed by Angry incoherent rambling. This is the first of many messages all from probes. Then A Video Message from a Carved Bug Man sitting on a throne of bones with 8 armed guards all carved standing around the throne the Man speaks"I am "Grand Marshal" Fashan Ne-Vadar leader of the Ka-Vadar and the army of Vader, I am delivering a message To all Being that enjoy life renounce Your false god or you will be killed along with your god for the destruction of Kan, we will have no partner ship with fools and we are not people of God WE ARE THE VADAR AND WE KILL GODS! KA-VADAR! KA-VADAR!" All of the Guards shout Ka-vader in unison. and the video is cut short

The strange message from what the Science-Division's translators could determine, these 'Ka-Vadar' seemed rather obsessed with the destruction of 'gods'. Noting that the transmissions between the two other local sentients had been talking of things of a divine nature. The Crew decided to contiue their observation of happenings in this local part of space, deploying multiple small monitoring probes to relay further information faster back to the vessel while broadcasting all their findings back to the Crownship. Perhaps the High-Crowned King of Sa would find this intriguing...

The same message is sent to The Kaheshi Royal Navy Science Vessel By a ship that seems to of intersected of the broadcast and is "quickly" approaching the ship sending messages demanding who they are and demanding renunciation of the "Gods"The ship has no weapons to speak of

The crew begins opening a channel and activating their translation data-devices pointing towards the approaching vessel. A holographic projection of the Kaheshi Captain of the Vessel is broadcast as he begins to speak, the translation software should hopefully translate things correctly.

"This is captain Tora'Varak of The Royal Science-Division under the arm of the Royal Navy of Kahesh. We are on a surveying mission regarding the local system here on order of Royal Navy high-command. We wish no harm, and merely wish to contiue our mission in peace. Local Broadcasts were picked up durring our surveying, and i took the call to translate these broadcasts and relay them back home to the Crownship of Sa incase his High-Crowned Majesty could find an interest in these happenings"

Ka-Sho Science VesselThe ship halts and a video is sent it shows a non-carved bug in a Torn Hazmat suit "Greeting Tora'Varak Of The Royal Science-Division under the warm of the Royal Navy of Kahesh, I Am Shoun leader of the ship Ka-Sho And the Na-Vadar is happy to make peace and co-operate with all non-Followers of "Gods" so Please state your opinion of "gods" No Answer will be seen as a god Follower and the Wrath of the Ka-Vadar will be yours"

The message contiues after the succesful hailing of the Na-Vadar vessel

"Subjects regarding the 'divine' or 'gods' is of older times. Religion in our society is practicly non-exsistant since the discovery of Thermal energy five centuries ago. That is all i can say on that matter, we cannot speak on other peoples behalfs when it comes to why one would contiue worship in some form or have a religious institution."

(This Is my First Rp so sorry if its bad)

A transmission is sent directly to the area of the probes. A hologram of a Thyaran prophet is included.

You speak badly about the Divine Beings, and that is unacceptable. Their existence is proved, and their divinity as well. What else could divinity be, but advanced knowledge of the past, that is used properly? They saved us all, and brought knowledge to us. Much more good than we can say about your barbaric, ignorant nature. Cease all research at once, and never again excavate the plentiful tomb worlds of the past. We do not want the Apocalypse to repeat, and neither should you. We doubt you'd be able to be integrated into civilized society.

A video message is sent with the same scene a before but Fashan Now Has a Skull in his hand and a sword in the other If you god is real We will kill along with your pathetic race this apocalypse is what made us travel the stars so another will make us even stronger, we will not cease research and we will desecrate you tombs if it brings us riches, Society ruled by lies are not Civilised, You have Sealed your fate KA-VADAR! KA-VADAR! Fashan Crushes the skull in his hand and lifts the sword to the sky and the guards shout and lift the blades to the sky the Video is cut short.

A hologram suddenly appear in a Vadar spaceship. A being unlike that of before is here this time.I am one of many that some call gods, but do not believe these fools. We might be called Divine Beings, but do that truly matter? We are purely a species that have almost fallen, and dominates a weaker people, who would otherwise have grown to destroy themselves. We do not want to fight, and that should be clear. Can't we come to some other agreement? Fighting is part of what causes the Apocalypse of old. Do you want the galaxy to fall again? I, Inquisitor of the Kreazi, salute you for not believing in gods, such as us, but we are not bound by some weak beastly desire to destroy even weaker beast's beliefs. Refrain from taking the lives of us and our slaves, and we will not stop your path to greatness.

A message from the Ka-Sho Science Vessel is sentWe Lived in peace slowly growing with spaceships in the sky proclaiming to be gods then this apocalypse happened and the ships crashed in to Kan Killing 68% of us and proposed to kill 7% more until we killed them the stole there tech and Formed The Ka-Vadar the God hunters and travelled to there home world and killed them all, so You are acting just like them with you enslavement of this young race was how Thay where before so Men Pretending To be gods to live of others is An even weaker desire than To Hold all them accountable for lies and cruelty. so tell them of your mortality or face Death.A Fully armed War ship warps in followed by 6 more Thay are The Army of Vader the god Hunters

The Crew onboard the vessel seem shocked and suprised at the broadcasts between the races, could it be conflict could be happening so quickly? War never did anything good for anyone, but it is one of the Kaheshi's buisness. Still all this information was better to be relayed back to the Crownship for study.

I, archprophet Q-thar qur Badhalin, is quite disappointing in the development of war. It seems like your idea of enslavement is closer to that we suffered before the Kreazi saved us. Shouldn't it be our own choice what we believe in and not? The mighty Divine Beings even showed themselves to you, and I assure you, that is quite a privilege. Only the Prophet Ranked of the Thyaras are allowed to see their beauty. Do people not see? History has been repeated, and the apocalypse will soon follow. Without the Kreazi to advice against dangerous technology and tomb worlds, how do you expect to have safe progress? The Divine Beings shall somehow protect us. We might not have an army or a warfleet (at all), but at least we have the single most advanced spacecraft ever, the Divine Ark, also known as the "Shield of the Gods" for protecting our planet against a Anti-matter Bomb. Turn back now, or you will see what made us think of them as "Divine".

Out of the deep ocean world of Dufaia (the second Domain planet, in the same system), appears a great battleship-class spaceship. While obviously old and damaged, it had maintained a majestic look. Great visible shield barriers erupt.(I will shortly make a new battle thread for this war.)

A return message is sent. With a Kha'ni in the foreground and a large crowd of Kha'ni in the background moving in a large complex pattern.

"Greetings Q-thar qur Badhalin, the current Archprophet, we accept your, 'Q-thar qur Badhalin, the current Archprophet's offer. We are shocked and horrifiedthat you, 'Q-thar qur Badhalin, the current Archprophet', would think that we would kill your delegation does the Holy Book not say..."

The Kha'ni launches into a series of religious citations and proclamations 'does it not say'

"In any case the large part of "professors" is welcome. In addition we have this message to send to you. 'Dahwa y Zenjeikt muw, waqara Midhes', we offer this this phrase from your, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi's, own speech as they, 'Q-werr zer Sayraj, the fourth prophet of the Kreazi' have advised us. We eagerly await your arrival and ask when an appropriate delegation may be sent to your own world."

A surprising message comes with a crackling hologram.It is important for you to know that we have been attacked by evil beings wishing for a repetition of the Apocalypse. Our lack of willingness to prepare for war has taken a toll on us. The Divine Beings have been betrayed by the barbaric Vadars, and three have been killed. You will have to wait for our deal to take effect, but do not doubt our ability to survive, not the mention the Kreazi's.

A return message is sent. With the same scene as from the last transmission.

"We offer any of your people who will accept sanctuary. We have one other inhabitable planet in our system however we are reluctant to colonize it and move away from our ancestral home. It is an Arid world. We would offer you further assitance in this matter however, we are not what you would call, prepared for war as such thoughts horrify us."

That is more than enough. We are unprepared ourselves, and could hardly expect it from others. We should be able to live on the spaceship for a while. We are colonizing a new planet ourselves, and will probably be able to relocate some people there. "Earth" might have previously been in ruins, even before the Apocalypse, but the automatic terraforming machines there have done their work. An arid world does honestly not sound too appealing; Too dry for the Thyaras and the Kreazi. Earth both has rainforests and glaciers, making it a perfect new homeworld. We must apologize for settling so close to your main system, however.
